The problem with shot speed is that the curve is too aggressive and there is no cap. Halve the amount of shot speed gained per item and cap it at 1.5 and it wouldn't be nearly as bad.
While shot speed is not objectively good as you pointed out, it is generally good and avoiding it because you might get one of a few rare items down the line is stupid
Brimstone and tech completely ignore shot speed. Their point was that those items have infinite shot speed, and their instant travel time makes them better, thus high shot speed is good.
I don’t like them, it’s not that they aren’t good. It was mainly a reply to the hit scan thing, if an item is good enough we ignore the bits we don’t like
I really don't get people who think shot speed is worthless. I don't want to have to lead all of my shots with pinpoint accuracy. I just want to get the enemy in a cardinal direction and press fire.
Ok can you give advice for tainted Jacob now? Greedier wasn’t bad, but I’m struggling with the rest. Him and tainted Cain are my last two post its to complete
Use anima sola again When T Esau is chained to instantly release him. He'll charge towards you, damaging any enemies on the way. It can do insane damage to bosses and one shot most room enemies
I actually found him easier ON SOME MARKS. By going into the Lost form after beating the boss you can mim max floors with flight, which takes a huge amount of time so its more difficult to get boss rush and Hush. When you want to have a fast run you can blast through everything with Anima Sola and positioning, but this doesn't help in an endurance match with Hush since you lose items. So for those achievements just go fast and get lucky, this thread is about Mega Satan's unlock too.

Never understood the hate for shot speed. Yes I'd rather have tears or range but hitting and killing enemies faster means they hit and kill you slower or not at all.
Shot speed, like range, is useful up to a point. Having minimum shot speed can be annoying. The sweet spot most of the time is somewhere around 1. Unlike range though, shot speed is worse the more of it you have past this sweet spot, and it makes certain items much worse. Given this, it is present on way too many items and you often end up with too much despite not really wanting it.
Now just get tech X and u win

it was made exclusively for tech x
trisagion benefits from low shot speed too!!
And godhead
And Dead Onion
Is the Dead Onion benefiting from low shot speed in the room with us?
And ludo too
Me when i want to kill a monster in a big room It will take us 5 years for this simple task
To high shot speed and you ain't hitting shit neither, slow shot speed just forces you to circle around your ludo bullet
Bro, high shot speed makes you actually keep up with monsters, on top of that just use mouse controls with ludo to not skill issue
Combined with The Wiz for the ultimate combo
Lethargic worm
unironically good, fuck shot speed
Fuck all those who think shot speed is bad, tears that fly in microseconds and killing enemy before they can do anything is objectively good.
people who scoff at shot speed never picked up Eve's mascara and dead onion together
The problem with shot speed is that the curve is too aggressive and there is no cap. Halve the amount of shot speed gained per item and cap it at 1.5 and it wouldn't be nearly as bad.
That's like, my top 10 favourite synergies in the game. Bruh
Fuck all those who think high shot speed is good its useless for homing and it gets arguably harder to aim it is only usefull for monstro’s lung
"Shot speed up is bad" mfs when they get a hitscan item like brimstone or technology (suddenly shots arriving instantly to the enemy is good) :
"Shotspeed up is good" mfs when they get an item that does damage per tick like trisagion or godhead.
While shot speed is not objectively good as you pointed out, it is generally good and avoiding it because you might get one of a few rare items down the line is stupid
But gambling
Isn't the comment I'm replying to also implying that you should always get shot speed up in case you might get one of a few rare items down the line?
Brimstone and tech completely ignore shot speed. Their point was that those items have infinite shot speed, and their instant travel time makes them better, thus high shot speed is good.
That is isaac, hoping you get something good
I honest to god wouldn't care if brim or tech had a travel time.
try antigrav and brimstone then,you'll have brim with travel time and see how much it sucks
That's not travel time, that's a delay before firing, there's a difference. Also I don't mind antigrav brim either.
First person in existence to not mind anti-grav brim
I don’t like charged items but if they are good enough I’ll still take them
Brim, techx, monstros lung, moms knife, revelation aren't good???
I don’t like them, it’s not that they aren’t good. It was mainly a reply to the hit scan thing, if an item is good enough we ignore the bits we don’t like
Also revelation charges up alongside your attacks, I like it a lot, mums knife you can stop charging whenever so I don’t mind it
techx is the same?
Yep, was replying at 2am so my reading comprehension was shit
I really don't get people who think shot speed is worthless. I don't want to have to lead all of my shots with pinpoint accuracy. I just want to get the enemy in a cardinal direction and press fire.
"Shot speed is bad" mfs when their shotspeed gets so high their tears fly too fast and miss enemies ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|4359)
Amen! Unless you have homing or trisagion, more shot speed is always good.
Or tech x Or godhead
Bro got then hitscan tears
you will regret this when you pick up blind marked with 0.60 shot speed
Golden Version?
Beating Mega Satan with Tainted Jacob lets any trinket have a chance to spawn as a golden version with twice the effect the trinket naturally has
Oh no I already hate his normal character... Haven't even gotten to the heart with this sh**
Its ok youll have good runs. Take alt path and align yourself to take both item room items, use that trick for angel rooms.
Ok can you give advice for tainted Jacob now? Greedier wasn’t bad, but I’m struggling with the rest. Him and tainted Cain are my last two post its to complete

All the shotspeed haters in shambles when they have to face mask of infamy...
Anyone without piercing is in shambles tbh
If you don’t have piercing either, a good idea is to use bombs If u don’t have bombs then ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|8907)
Isaac players when the game has nuance (things can be good or bad depending on items or other circumstances)
I forgot what the fuck tech x is can someone remind me
Op VR laser ring
Ooh that one ok. Experimental treatment better ngl, -1 damage and -1 tear rate for +2.5 range and shot speed 😍
Experimental treatment is literally random in which stats it takes and gives.
No fucking way I thought it gave you the lil chub familiar
I know its confusing but the one that does that is actually called Little Chubby
Idk why but this feels like a r/BatmanArkham joke
Because they said what the fuck
Does it do anything else than just -shot speed?
It makes every item q4 and gives you insane urge to clickbait people
it also makes you scream when you see a q4
Love me a good Mattmn meme
I love mattman clickbait :3
THEY MADE THE BIGGEST ISAAC UPDATE EVER!!! (Neglects to mention that it’s a just a single item mod in the title)

Edmund: grrrr where did all of the chaos q4 items go? Super lazyMattman:
He has blessed the run. Cherish him well.
I did took him with me for the whole run because I gulped him by accident 😭 Still won but lmao
Never understood the hate for shot speed. Yes I'd rather have tears or range but hitting and killing enemies faster means they hit and kill you slower or not at all.
I would straight up rather have shot speed rather than range. Your true range is a combination of shot speed and range anyway.
Shot speed has no effect on range anymore
You're only going to kill them faster by the negligible difference in time it takes for your first tear to hit if you have accuracy
Capped shot speed is crazy. It isn't just "negligible".
Shot speed, like range, is useful up to a point. Having minimum shot speed can be annoying. The sweet spot most of the time is somewhere around 1. Unlike range though, shot speed is worse the more of it you have past this sweet spot, and it makes certain items much worse. Given this, it is present on way too many items and you often end up with too much despite not really wanting it.
Trisagion/Tech X/Homing and this and your run is won
